Reelables lets you track packages using paper-based electronics
Reelables is showing a new way to track shipped packages using inexpensive paper-based electronics that are on one side of a shipping label.
Reelables has developed the technology and manufacturing capability in-house to make these active smart labels like tape, with airplane-safe, coated zinc batteries at mass scale, and are in production today. As opposed to lithium battery based devices, Reelables labels are airplane safe, non-dangerous goods and uniquely classified by the US Customs and Border control as packaging materials, he said. Reelables figured out instead how to use mainstream silicon-based wafer die for the RF chipsets, bonding directly to the substrate with an epoxy, on fully reel-to-reel process with no soldering.
